The next online DevNation Live Tech Talk will be Thursday, March 15th at 12pm EDT. The topic is Camel Riders in the Cloud presented by Claus Ibsen

Apache Camel has fundamentally changed the way enterprise Java™ developers think about system-to-system integration. It makes it easy to apply enterprise integration patterns (EIP) using simple declarations. The result is a lightweight application that is wrapped and delivered as a single JAR.

In this session, we’ll show you how to apply the best practices from the enterprise integration world to build microservices that are deployed as Linux® containers, running on top of Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift. These integration applications will be both cloud-native and cloud-portable.

Although security and identity management are critical aspects for any application, implementation can be difficult. As a result, these things are often neglected, poorly implemented, and intrusive in the code. Recently, identity management servers have appeared that allow you to outsource and delegate all aspects of authentication and authorization, such as auth0.com. Of these servers, one of the most promising is Keycloak, because it is open source, flexible, and technology agnostic. Keycloak is easily deployable on a variety of infrastructure and is very adaptable for many types of deployments.

The next online DevNation Live Tech Talk will be Thursday, February 15th, at 12 pm EST. The topic is Spring Boot deployment on Kubernetes presented by Kamesh Sampath. In this 30-minute live session, we will see how to build, debug, deploy, and discover Spring Boot applications on Kubernetes. The talk will include details of the tools, libraries, and platform that could be used to make your spring boot deployment smooth and easy.

Recently, the focus on the continuous delivery of value has created a lot of interest in microservices, CI/CD, and containers. The idea is that microservices are small and well defined enough to enable rapid innovation, automated testing, and frequent deployments with minimal risk. This is made possible by adopting continuous integration and continuous delivery pipelines. CI/CD requires the ability to quickly, easily, reliably, and automatically create and tear down complete execution environments. Linux containers address this need by creating lightweight, portable, and isolated runtime environments. It becomes easy to reach the conclusion that the path to digital transform is continuous value delivery via microservices-based on containers and CI/CD.

Today’s announcement of Red Hat OpenShift.io was followed by a full day of developer toolset Summit sessions. These were presented by the OpenShift.io product development team and covered some truly amazing OpenShift.io features. While there are too many features to cover in a single blog post, these were my top 7 items.

Is this the right dependency to add for the feature that I need to build?

What open source libraries and/or packages are others using?

Is this a stable and secure version?

Does this package’s license conform to my organization’s policies?

These are important questions that developers need to answer when choosing open source software components for their project. It is nearly impossible to deliver a modern application without depending on a number of software packages. It’s hard to justify spending time on the decision process since it doesn’t seem to add any visible business value. However, each component included is a potential liability if it has bugs or security vulnerabilities.
